Hmm…, yes, when I was young, I think exactly as you do today. I chose not to choose side and tried working independently. I must admit that, for unknown reason, that worked for me in many a time. At least, this worked whether I was in the private sector or am in HE now. This also gave me a great opportunity to look at the subject from ‘afar’ and think more ‘objectively’.

To judge something ‘good’ or ‘evil’ sometimes (maybe in most cases) is purely personal. So is the case of politics. In one day, I woke up and realized that the world/organization/community is destined to contain both the good and evil. That forms the basis to provide us the drive to make a change(!) in one case, and to protect our interests in the other. Ridiculous enough? But, that is what our lives appear to be…
